Reno Nursing Homes

Reno nursing homes are places of residence for seniors and patients with advanced medical concerns. At a nursing home, also called a skilled nursing facility, patients have access to around-the-clock monitoring and treatment from a team of health professionals. Nursing facility caregivers include physicians, nurses, specialists, therapists, non-medical staff and social workers. They all work to meet the medical and social needs of each patient.

While most Reno skilled nursing facilities focus on either short-term or long-term care, some have the capacity to deliver both. Short-term care aims to help patients recuperate from a stroke, heart attack, aneurism, fall or other acute medical event. Caregivers will map out a personalized plan of recovery to get short-term patients back on their feet as soon as possible. This may include anything from a special diet to physical, respiratory, speech or occupational therapy. Short-term care looks to get patients to a point where they can move to a less inclusive type of care, such as in home, assisted living, or senior apartments. Long-term care is for seniors and patients with serious medical problems. They may be admitted for conditions like Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, multiple sclerosis or general physical decline. Physicians and nurses are on hand to administer complex medical procedures like the adjustment of medicine dosage, the treatment of wounds, blood work and colostomy bags. Non-medical staff and social workers are responsible for helping with activities of daily living and socially engaging with patients. Even though some long-term care patients eventually need end of life care, many patients realize significant improvement in their health problems. Like short-term patients, long-term patients are often able to move to lesser levels of care.

Long-term nursing stays are mainly caused by a decline in a preexisting problem. Almost three-fourths of short-term stays are precipitated by a medical crisis requiring a hospitalization. During the hospital stay a doctor will evaluate the patient’s condition to assess if a nursing stay is necessary for further recovery. Receiving top quality hospital care is important because it is the first step towards eventual recovery. The best physicians and specialists will also be able to give knowledgeable recommendations on area SNFs. In Reno, the best hospital care can be found at Renown Regional Medical Center and Renown South Meadows Medical Center.
